
I write, play, sing, record, produce, master and all that jazz.

I also do stuff with a band called "my visor"...  We're recording our third album.  You can look us up at http://myvisor.bandcamp.com more free stuff there.

I do my own stuff as "Keith Brown".... I play live with some friends under the name "Keith Brown & Friends".....  Unimaginative. So far I've put out 2 EPs and an album, all released via Insufficient Records, and are available as digital downloads free at http://keithbrown.bandcamp.com

I play drums in wonky indie pop band Cineclub - www.soundcloud.com/cineclub

I occasionally play bass guitar in Jim Musgrave's live band - http://jimmusgrave.bandcamp.com

And occasionally drum with the mighty Tape Invaders

I run a DIY label with a pal, it's called Insufficient Records and it almost, sort of, exists - www.insufficientrecords.co.uk

Clubnight and record label in London, UK and Barcelona, Spain
(mostly London for now, soz)

We like DIY bands, alternative mind-altering fare, but basically pop music.

The compilation 'Kobayashi Nights I: Intergalactic Champions' was released Feb 2017, and brings together a bunch of bands that have played London's Kobayashi Nights clubnight over the last year. It's available to buy along with a comic and nicely printed gig posters here: https://kobayashinights.bandcamp.com/releases


"If you’ve been thinking about dipping your toes into the true world of the DIY underground but didn’t know where to start then ‘Kobayashi Nights I – Intergalactic Champions’ is the perfect launch pad. This record is a beautiful patchwork quilt of some of London’s finest unsung travelling minstrels and wouldn’t it be brilliant if someone from every city up and down the UK took a leaf out Kobayashi Nights' indie comic book and did the same? The revolution would be graphic novelized." 
– 8/10, Louder Than War

"it feels like this could be the start of something great, something to look forward to each year, like the original NOW albums when I was a kid. With a little digging and perseverance each band could very well become your new favourite obsession. And isn’t that what you want from a club night?" 
– 8/10, Drowned In Sound 

"featuring new music from some of our favourite fixtures on the London DIY-scene, as well as plenty of people we’ve never heard of but like an awful lot. Outsider Riot-Pop heroes, The Ethical Debating Society, offer the typically ferocious Paywall, GOLDBLOOMS channel their inner Los Campesinos! on Hellomire, while the new to us Megaflora shine on the jittering, Joanna Gruesome like noise-pop of Anxious. Elsewhere there’s further intriguing offerings from the likes of electro-poppers Mega Emotion, the meanderingly epic Mardemarmo and the joyous jangle of Just Blankets" - For The Rabbits

Wishes Twist is the solo project of me, Dave E. Martin. I’ve been actively playing in Seattle band’s since the mid 90’s. I started off playing keyboards in the “Orchestral Rock”  band, Bugs In Amber and pop/rock band Slender Means. I currently play keys in the psych rock band Black Whales and bass in the pop/rock band, Trances. 
    I’ve been writing my own songs since I was a teen, in the early 90’s but only started my own band, Ghost Pains back in 2012. After Ghost Pains broke up I continued writing and started another band, Histamines, which broke up shortly after we released one 5 song ep in 2018. We only played two shows but continued writing until breaking up in 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic sucked me dry of any motivation for writing new material. 
     Which brings us to 2022/23. Coming out of a major writing rut and possible depression I’m finally having more inspiration and ideas for music. Wishes Twist reflects that inspiration. For now this SoundCloud page has old Ghost Pains songs on it but will eventually only be my demos. It’s a labour of love…stay tuned.

BBC 6 Music Round Table winners and former members of Norwich art-rock/indie-pop outfit Bearsuit.

Mega Emotion are the robe-wearing cult that build dense layers of sound looping both live and electronic drums against synths and scuzzy guitars. 

They have won Steve Lamacq’s Roundtable on BBC 6 Music, seen their demo material play-listed as a 6 Music Recommends track of the week, and been championed on XFM and by BBC Introducing.

Live, they have played for John Kennedy’s Remedy showcase in London, and supported the likes of Acid Mothers Temple, Shonen Knife, Melt Banana, Thumpers, Lonelady and Yuck.

Their debut single Uncomfortable was released on cassette by Post/Pop Records – who have released cassette tracks by Everything Everything, Pulled Apart By Horses, Ash, Johnny Foreigner and We Are Scientists.

Their split debut vinyl album 'Move Motherf*cker' (with their grunge alter-egos Lady Di) is scheduled to come out this summer. 

"Death Star dance action" - Steve Lamacq

"Underground-mainstream indie-synth-pop... Human League goes lo-fi" - Electronic Sound

“Part Pixies noise-fest, part 80s synth sunset. I fucking love this song. It makes me want to rip out my shitty broken spine and flop around on a dance floor having fun.”
The 405 (single of the week)
 
“Mega Emotion aren’t your standard synth-pop proposition. They may weave webs of slick electro beats that nod out to Blondie, but they also have a thing for excessive layers of noise.”
The Fly (names to watch)
 
“A tasty jellybean of guitar embellished, smart electro pop”
The Music Fix (single of the week)
 
“Sounds like: A mad genetic experiment between Casiokids and Blondie.”
Click Music (track of the day)
